The Great Space Elevator

The Great Space Elevator is a marvel of human engineering; a transit tube stretching from the equator up to a space station held in geosynchronous orbit. When the TARDIS lands in Sumatra in the future, the Second Doctor, Jamie and Victoria are captured by guards just as the station loses power. Together with Security Officer Tara Kerley, the three travellers take a one-way trip on the elevator to fix the problem, and find themselves confronted by a powerful alien force that threatens to wreak chaos on Earth…

David Darlington is a musician, sound engineer and writer - among other things - with clients including War Child, Academy Films, Big Finish Productions, BBC Audiobooks, BBCi, UK Style, Covert Productions, Revelation Films, Panini, Visual Imagination and more. A CV detailing interests and experience is online, and demonstration tracks can be accessed. There are also pages - personal and music - on myspace, which are perhaps most useful for containing the most up-to-date examples of David's sound and music work available online.

Kudos: The short movie Speechless, on which David produced the sound, won two short movie awards: "Best Film (5-10 minutes)" at icewhole.com, and "Best Film" at a Barbican/Big Issue film festival; more details to follow.

MUSIC AND SOUND PRODUCTION

David has been designing sound for the documentary The Real Australia, and recently worked on the promo and accompanying documentary material for the Keane single, The Night Sky, in aid of the charity War Child. He is also working on - or has completed work on - a number of short movie projects, including Break-In, Speechless, Sunday and My Fifteen Minutes; more details and links as the various producers make these available. David is now also responsible for recording, compiling, editing and encoding the popular entrepreneurial podcast Mind Your Own Business and is producing the ongoing 'narrated soundtracks' series of Doctor Who releases from BBC Audiobooks.

He is also in the midst of production on CD projects with the baroque ensemble My Lady's Chamber and produced a live CD for their colleagues, the Flackton Duo.

JOURNALISM

Rona Munro - the writer of the final story in the classic Doctor Who series run, Survival - has rarely been interviewed on the subject of Doctor Who and her involvement in it, despite her high profile in other spheres including successful, lauded and award-winning work in the theatre and in cinema. Until, that is, now - a full, frank and absorbing Rona Munro interview is now online at this site...

SITE NAVIGATION

This is the home page. Clicking any link in the text menu at the top left will take you directly to the top of that section of the site. Clickable links (generally highlighted thus) throughout the site should be instinctively interactive; internal links will open in the same window, external ones in a new window. At the bottom of each page should be links to allow you to navigate back through the site hierarchy. I hope it's ergonomic and intuitive. As and when I learn more about XML, RSS and CSS it should continue to improve. Always under construction. Do tell me if you have suggestions.

All words, sounds and images are © David Darlington except book, magazine and CD covers and excerpts from audio and video releases © the publisher; Doctor Who © BBC; and interviewees' words (and quotations from texts they have written) © them.
